The Corrections Minister says there are too many people out on electronic bail. 

A briefing has revealed the number of people on electronic bail has more than tripled in the past six years.  

Mark Mitchell says looking at the Bail Act, the already existing plan to cap discounts for prison sentences, will help.  

He told Mike Hosking that it's not the only problem he will be investigating.  

Mitchell wants to look at the rise in people being granted electronic bail despite police opposition.
